739 French Girl Names

Pierrette is the French feminine form of Peter or Pierre, an antiquated if charming feminization in the style of Albertine.

This Frenchified variation softens and prettifies the harsh original.

Possible musical tribute name to the waiflike, husky-voiced midcentury French singer who was given this last name because of her birdlike quality.

Mandolin may seem like an outlandish choice for a name, but since BANJO has been used as a baby name, all the instruments in the band seem to be auditioning for a place on birth certificates. This one comes with a real name nickname, MANDY.

Sensuous to a fault.

A sweet French word name possibility, but with unsavory teasing potential.

Pleasant-sounding word that could morph into a unique Sunday-picnic-type name.

Bechet has a nice, catchy Gallic feel.
